Car theft at the airport: unknown people stole license plates while they were away!
In Roßla, a theft caused a stir after a vehicle owner left his car at Berlin Airport for 14 days. When he returned, he discovered that the front license plate had disappeared. Apparently it was taken by unknown perpetrators while he was away. The police received a criminal complaint and investigations are in full swing to find the perpetrators. This is another example of how important it is to be vigilant even in supposedly safe places such as parking lots, as [Saxony-Anhalt] reports.
A theft was also reported in Hettstedt. The chairman of an association informed the police authorities that unknown perpetrators had stolen cables and a solar module from a historic tower in the city wall. In order to get to the stolen goods, several doors were opened, which caused property damage of around 150 euros.
Traffic accidents cause chaos
Also on the same day, but at 11:00 p.m., a driver in Sandersleben damaged another stationary vehicle while pulling out of a parking space. Careless driving also caused considerable damage to property.
Things were less benign in Aseleben at 10:40 p.m. when a driver of her Peugeot left the road in a left-hand bend and got stuck on a curb. During the examination, the smell of alcohol was detected on her breath. The police ordered a blood sample to be taken and confiscated her driver's license to rule out any possible danger on the road. In Germany there is a strict blood alcohol limit, which, according to [ADAC], varies for different groups of drivers.
Drunk driving under control?
Drunk driving remains an explosive issue. According to the Federal Statistical Office, 38,771 traffic accidents under the influence of alcohol were registered last year, which represents an increase of 19 percent compared to the previous year. The numbers fell during the Corona lockdowns, but as life returns to normal, the dangers of alcohol-related driving are increasing again. [Autobild] reports that there were also around 167,000 alcohol and drug violations in traffic, which underlines the need for preventive measures for traffic safety.
The blood alcohol limits in Germany are clearly defined: novice drivers and people under the age of 21 are banned from drinking alcohol, while a blood alcohol level of 0.5 to 1.09 per mille can result in a fine and points in Flensburg. From 1.1 per mille it becomes a criminal offense. The penalties are not insignificant and can lead to up to five years in prison. Motor vehicle liability insurance also has special rules in the event of an alcohol-related accident - as can be found on the [ADAC] website, senior drivers with a high alcohol level can be confronted with high reimbursement claims in the event of damage.
The connections between alcohol consumption and road safety are therefore clear: Drunk driving endangers not only the drivers themselves, but also all other road users. Today has impressively proven that.
